Description

Lynne Rudder Baker, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at University of Massachusetts Amherst, will give the 34th Eunice Belgum Memorial Lectures on "Persons: What We Are and How We Persist in Time." Professor Baker believes philosophy, especially metaphysics, philosophy of mind and philosophy of religion, should address reflective concerns of ordinary life.

Lecture One: The Place of Persons in Nature Thursday, April 11, 4:00-5:30 PM, Viking Theater

The Belgum Lectures, now in their 34th year, honor the memory of Eunice Belgum, who graduated from St. Olaf College in 1967. The lecture series was established in the hope that Eunice's tragic death in 1977 would not end her impact on the profession, teaching, and scholarship she loved so much.
